Hi everyone, I'd like to introduce my 2.
I bought the car in late july 2012 and the 2 is my first car. I really like the 2 because the economical and its fun to drive as well. At the first I don't know what to do with my 2, I just using it to get me to college or driving around the town. Nothing crossed on my mind at all to modify the 2. Just drive it as daily driven car. (toetap)
then a friend of mine (he's driving Honda FIT GE8) suggest me to modified the 2 to make it looks better than the stock one, so I accept his advice and start it to modified the 2.
at the first, I changed my stock rims to TE37 "17 4x100 with 205/45/17 tire profile, but after the rims installed I realize that I need a lowering kit. After saving my money for weeks I bought TEIN S-Tech lowering kit for Mazda Demio DE5FS, since then I love it how it looks.
After getting those rims and lowering kits, I wonder what to do next with my 2 until I found "DEMIO" emblem on a forum.
then I wonder what is the original Demio look like in Japan, is it same like the Thailand's made Mazda2 or different? and yes, it is different. The JDM ones has angry bumper and they also has the projector headlight which is we don't have at that moment but we have it now (Mazda just release the facelift which is has projector headlight in August 2012) and they also has Automatic Climate Control, super cool indiglow instrument cluster and a Paddleshift. (I really envy to them (gah) )
suddenly I just realized it why the Japanese spec has higher spec and aggresive looks while the Thailand made is stuck with smiley face on it, so I search where to find and how to get the Japanese's 2 stuff. At first, right! the demio emblem which is I already have it. Then I looking for the bumper, I contacted some Japanese seller that I found in auction.yahoo.co.jp but its useless because they cannot ship big item oversea and it really makes me a bit dissapointed but I don't give up to search and get the bumper. After looking around I found it! its from Singaporean spec Mazda2 (Mazda2 in singapore is Japan made which is they has similarity to the Demio), So I went to Singapore and bring the angry face with me!
and this is Mazda2 in Singapore (ugh)
But it doesn't come in handy, the bumper is fit to the Thailand made Mazda2 but the Thailand made mazda2's fog light and the front grill is also different to the angry face bumper. So I look it on ebay, I guess it is my lucky to find the fog light.
(up : thailand made mazda2 foglight. bottom : the JDM mazda2 fog light)
after installing the fog light
and the last thing, I also got the projector head light but I haven't installed it because due of my busyness in campus (crazy)

here's another pic of my 2. Enjoy.

By the way, Since I haven't installed the front grill I'd like to ask your opinion what kind of front grill I should put in my 2, should I installed the front grill like this one
or the stock one
(dunno)
Thank you, sorry for my bad english and Happy New Year 2014 guys
